For many, Christmas means only one thing: lights! There’s is nothing more enjoyable at this time of year than wandering the neighbourhood on a balmy summer’s night in search of a bright, flashing ode to the season.

The Illawarra comes alive every year with the vivid colours of Christmas displays and this year is no exception, with neighbourhoods throughout the region lighting up with festive spirit.
